Anyone/ explanations
Message from again57 posted on 17-04-2014 at 17:22:56 (D | E | F)
Hello everyone,

While I was reading an article on the BBC's website I noticed something which I didn't understand well, actually. So, please see below:
The new higher limit offers compensation to anyone who has money in a UK authorised bank, building society, credit union or friendly society that goes bust.

What I don't understand is why is used anyone is used rather instead of someone. What I mean is that the sentence is positive, so normally should we not use someone and not anyone?
Thanks for answering me.

Hello

You have forgotten the meaning of 'any of the people'.
Link

any person at all; it does not matter who
Anybody can see that it's wrong.
The exercises are so simple that almost anyone can do them.

Hello Lucile,

Thanks for the link. That's true I didn't know this rule, I'll try to keep it in mind.
Thank you for answering.
